2025

El Festival NO Convencional presenta obras de música, danza, teatro o performances nuevas para el público argentino, en escenarios no convencionales. La novedad no se reduce al material de la obra sino también a sus intérpretes que en muchas ocasiones, conviven profesionales con amateurs.

Artists

Juan Sorrentino

Juan Sorrentino

Juan Sorrentino (b. 1978, Argentina) is a sound artist and experimental musician whose multimedia practice spans sculpture, site-specific interventions, performance, installation, video, and sound recording. His works explore the intersections between visual language, nature, ecology, poetic contexts, and collective imagination. He is best known for his works created with burned trees, ashes, soil, bricks, tiles, metals, and dust, set in physical interaction through industrial motors and low-frequency sounds — including frequencies outside the range of human hearing, such as seismic or quark vibrations. In his practice, sound is not limited to what can be perceived by the human ear but extends to visceral, physical experiences. His installations thus become inclusive sensory environments, accessible to everyone, including people with profound hearing loss or impairments. Sorrentino is a professor in the Electronic Arts program at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero and in the Combined Arts program at FADYCC, Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, Chaco. He is also the director of MONTE, an artist residency located in Colonia Benítez, Chaco, Argentina. The residency is dedicated to artists, curators, and researchers whose projects engage with nature, landscape studies, and the environmental impact on the territory. In 2025, he received the Art at CERN Award to develop a new project in collaboration with CERN. Earlier that year, in August, he participated in the TURN Program in Japan, a platform that fosters cross-cultural and interdisciplinary artistic practices. Sorrentino has exhibited at PAC Milano (IT), Whitechapel Gallery (UK), MAAT (PT), Bonniers Konsthall (SE), Círculo de Bellas Artes (ES), CCK (AR), MACBA (AR), Fundación Proa (AR), ARGOS (BE), and Tromsø Center for Contemporary Art (NO), among others. His work is held in both public and private collections.
